Question

i wandered lonely as a cloud by william wordsworth
i wandered lonely as a cloud
that floats on high oer vales and hills,
when all at once i saw a crowd,
a host of golden daffodils;
5 beside the lake, beneath the trees,
fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
continuous as the stars that shine
and twinkle on the milky way,
they stretched in never - ending line
10 along the margin of a bay:
ten thousand saw i at a glance,
tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
the waves beside them danced, but they
out - did the sparkling waves in glee:
15 a poet could not but be gay
in such a jocund company;
i gazed - and gazed - but little thought
what wealth the shew to me had brought:
for oft when on my couch i lie
20 in vacant or in pensive mood,
they flash upon that inward eye
